CATTIE INDUSTRY IS aOURISHiNII ON CANAL
Large Areas of Forest Cleared
and 100,000 Head Soon Will
Be Grazing.
The policy of raising cattle tor th« nse of the employees of the Panama rnnnl and the mllitncy nnd naval forces there hns transformed the ap¬ pearance of the canal zone.
L.argc areas of forest and Jungle along the railway and the canal have been cleared aft and planted in guinea grass, and the big herds of cattle mny be seen browsing In the valleys or on the slopes of the marry. hills. Many thousands of acres have/been cleared already, and the work Ifi/still going on. A big dairy is al^ overated, and in time all the beef, i»nlk snd cheese needed on the isthmus may be pro¬ duced there.
The guinea grass originally was an African plant, but haa been establish¬ ed in the West Indies and parts of the continent for a long time. It is 'a heavy, rank grass, often reaching a height of ten feet, stooling freely and rooting deeply. It Is particularly val¬ uable, as It destroys almost any other vegetation, a quality of great utility in the tropics. It propagates both from seed and roots and spreads quite rap- Idly.
T'he para grass Is grown In a limited extent also In low and wet soils. It is not as desirable as guinea grass, but is eaten hy both cattle nnd horses. Para gratis is the great prevailing plant of the ICwer Amazon valley, as It Is not injured by the periodic inundations.
The cattle Industry In the canal zone Is especially favored by the fact that Gatun lake supplies plenty of Water during the dry senson, its branches ramifying through the many hills nnd mountains nnd making fresh water avllable In all the pastures. The zone may support a herd of 100,000 head of cattle without trenching upon the areas used for agricultural and horti¬ cultural purposes.

RED CROSS TO GET TIPS
Society's Workers May Talce Placa of Cloak-Room Bandits. A new method of raising hundreds of thousands of dollafs annually for the Red Cross and other worthy war causes has been advanced In Cleveland.

Whether the sug¬ gestion will be followed up Is not yet known, but Influential persons here are said to be strongly In favor of the plan.
